This includes: Authentic Santa Maria Tri-Tip Santa Maria Style Pinquito Beans Tangy Santa Maria Salsa Simple Santa Maria Green Salsa Pro Tips Before You Begin: The pinquito beans need to soak overnight, so start those the night prior. The salsa needs to sit for at least one hour to develop its full flavor, so make it the morning of your barbecue, or 1-2 hours before you start on your meat. Red oak chips are the key to getting that distinct Santa Maria flavor in your meat. Be sure to use them, or your tri-tip won’t taste authentic. For a truly authentic Santa Maria Style barbecue meal, serve this all up with a fresh strawberry dessert (our Valley is famous for ‘em) and a good glass of red wine.
